In March 2010, Deschutes County staff contacted the University of Oregon’s
Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to inquire about our capacity and interest
in conducting research on the impacts of destination resorts in Deschutes County.
CPW staff presented a project concept to the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners on May 5, 2010. This report examines what is needed to move
these policy issues forward.

In winter 2005, Resource Innovations initiated a project designed to identify the most effective means to communicate with local populations about climate change. The project is intended to identify speakers and messages that will resonate with Lane County residents as well as business, civic, and government leaders to help them understand what climate change is, what the impacts may be, and what can be done about it. Specifically, the project aims to identify effective language and communication styles as well as who should carry them. Resource Innovations contracted with Community Planning Workshop (CPW) at the University of Oregon to conduct four focus groups in Lane County, Oregon as part of the first phase of this project. Focus group populations included: residents of South Eugene, residents of Cottage Grove, business leaders from Eugene, and business leaders from Springfield and rural Lane County.

In the summer of 2014, the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) surveyed its member cities to obtain information about utility rates and other system characteristics for water, wastewater and stormwater. The League contracted with the Community Service Center (CSC) at the University of Oregon to help design and conduct the survey. The 2014 survey includes many topics from the 2009 survey and covers areas beyond just rates and charges.

The purpose of this study was to gather the perceptions of regional stakeholders, such as students, municipalities, businesses, and residents about their perception of transit enhancements along the Highway 99 Corridor. Specifically, it sought to analyze and gather the opinions and ideas about options for transit enhancements between Central Point and Ashland. Ultimately this report is to be used as a guide to assist RVTD in the preparation for an intensive planning process to make decisions on whether to pursue High Capacity Transit improvements in the Rogue Valley.

The Connected Lane County (CLC) Mid/High Bridge Committee contracted with the Community Planning Workshop at the University of Oregon to conduct a series of listening sessions with middle school-aged youth across Lane County. The goal was to gather information regarding students' post-secondary aspirations, the support students felt they were getting from their school, and what they felt they needed from their schools to achieve their goals. This report summarizes research on aspirations, the methodology used to schedule and conduct the sessions, the over-arching themes that came out of the sessions, actual student voices collected in writing, and suggestions for future listening sessions, policy and intervention.

The City of Eugene and Lane County partnered with the community Planning Workshop at the University of Oregon to complete this market analysis. Our goal is to provide the public with the factual information to support a community conversation about the potential for a public market and/or food hub, and to illuminate larger strategic opportunities for collaboration and partnering of resources. The three major components of this project were (1) a random sample household survey about current grocery spending and potential use of a public market, (2) Technical Resource Group meetings and (3) interviews with local food experts about supply and distribution.

The purpose of this report is to assess the viability and financial feasibility of a
proposed education and skills training center, as presently conceived, at the Fish
Lake Historic Site. To reach our conclusions, CPW assessed demand for the center
through a market analysis and conducted a feasibility assessment based on
projected costs and revenues. In the first phase of this study, CPW assessed potential demand for conceived programming through a market analysis. This analysis was completed using the following three steps: (1) document review, (2) case study analysis of comparable facilities and organizations, and (3) analysis of potential user groups and organizations. During the second phase of the study, CPW examined the operational and maintenance financial feasibility of the center. Information from the market analysis, combined with the conceived programming, was used to develop cost and revenue estimates for several potential operational models.

The Corvallis City Council identified community policing among its priorities in
1990. In 1993, the CPD contracted with the University of Oregon Community Planning
Workshop to create a strategic plan to guide the implementation of the department’s change
to community policing and to ensure its integration with existing traditional policing practices.
During the past 7 years, the Corvallis Police Department has worked together with Corvallis
citizens, businesses, social service organizations, Oregon State University, and other
governmental agencies to meet these expectations. The department is now ready to evaluate
the progress toward its community policing goals and to develop a new strategic plan for the
next 5 years.

Shoji Planning and Development is conducting a housing needs assessment for the Affordable Housing Opportunity Partnership in the Coos Bay/North Bend area. Housing needs assessments typically include information about housing characteristics and condition, household characteristics, and cost of housing. The most complete and reliable source of housing data is the U.S. Census of Population and Housing. The Census, however, is conducted every 10 years and was last conducted in 1990. It is probable that many characteristics of the Coos Bay/North Bend communities have changed since that time.
Recognizing the limitations of available data sets, the Affordable Housing Opportunity Partnership desired to implement a household survey to gather current data on housing and demographic characteristics. The Partnership contracted the University of Oregon’s Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to implement the survey. CPW used the questions generated by the Partnership and previous housing surveys conducted by CPW to develop a draft survey questionnaire for review and comment by Shoji Planning and the Affordable Housing Partnership.
The Community Planning Workshop (CPW) thanks to Wal-Mart Stores for their generous
donation of gift certificates used as survey incentives.

This study examined the direct and indirect economic impacts of Douglas County’s nonprofit sector. Direct impacts include revenues, expenditures, and employment generated by nonprofits themselves. The indirect impacts capture the extra income and jobs created by the stream of new dollars into the local economy from outside sources, as well as the spending of those dollars on wages and salaries and on goods and services produced by local businesses.

Experience with the Federal Jobs in the Woods program and with Oregon salmon restoration efforts has shown that experienced and trained workers are having a hard time finding stable employment. Recognition of this problem led to a discussion in April 1999 among representatives from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Oregon Economic Development Department, and the Ecosystem Workforce Program. The group concluded that the absence of communication and coordination between public and private land managers, contractors and members of the workforce in the ecosystem management industry is a contributing factor to the lack of employment opportunities for contractors and workers in the industry. In March 2000, EWP contracted the University of Oregon's Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to conduct a feasibility study of an ecosystem management industry clearinghouse. The purpose of the study is to assess the need for a clearinghouse that provides information to connect various components of the ecosystem management industry (e.g., contracting agencies, contractors, and workforce) and determine the best technical system to operate the clearinghouse. Organization for Economic Initiatives, Inc. funded this study. The Ecosystem Workforce Program (EWP) at the University of Oregon provided direction, organizational support and information on the ecosystem management industry.
